I'm going to replace the standard All Condition with this Armadillo, brand new Specialized tubes and I'll put the liners too. After getting 4 flats over 1 week, I now prefer reliability over speed
Anyone has the same setup?
I've done over 2000 miles on the Armadillos I bought this past spring, on both road and bike path/trails, not one flat (knocking on wood).
